I need someone in my life. I need a girl to hold me tight.

Someone to make me feel, make me feel all right.

Somebody help me, yeah.

Somebody help me now.

Won't somebody tell me what I've done wrong?

Morning.

Morning, Mr Dolly. Jimmy lad, you been chasing them monkey lassies again?

No. Why not?

Ah, what, at your age?

Morning, Lizzie.

Is Dr Weatherill in yet? She's clearing a space for the new lock -in. What time

is she arriving?

Any minute.

It's a Dr Macquarie, I believe.

Dr Joan Macquarie.

I wonder what part of the Emerald Isle she's from.

Right. Just drop them off, Jimmy lad, and get yourself to school. Don't want

your mum on me back.

Jimmy, you all right, son?

Jimmy!

She's not here yet.

Can't blame us chaps for being curious, Lizzie.

A new young lady around the place.

What do you take us for?

A couple of sporting chaps looking forward to an afternoon off, so I hear.

Hey, that'll simply raise his paddock access.

There's a horse I'm involved with that's running.

Royal Convenience.

Yes, I know, but despite the name, it should win.

Can't get to the meeting myself.

More's the pity.

Well, thanks very much, Mr Rose. I appreciate that.

Here, take a ten bob on Mr Rose's off to him, will you, Dad?

Lizzie, don't waste him on him.

I said he was going to win.

All right, don't say you weren't warned.

Am I interrupting?

No.

Does it feel like a career watershed?

Well, it feels a bit strange making one for somebody else, yes.

I think you'll be a great mother.

Yeah, absolutely.

I'm sure you'll be fine.

In fact, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.

There's a job coming up in Obst and Gynae at Ashfordly General. Not been

advertised yet, and I thought it might suit you.

Really?

What makes you think I'd be interested?

You're an ambitious woman.

I assume you'd be keen to make more use of your specialist skills, plus much

better hours for a new mum.

I think you'd be an excellent candidate.

Anyway, think about it.

I still don't understand what you're doing.

Look, we've already had three people ask us to put money on roles.

There's bound to be more.

So?

So...

We take the money that they want us to put on that royal convenience and we put

it on Sunriser. Now, my mate at the stable's reckoned it to show a thing,

So when Sunriser wins, we're in the money and then on the wiser.

That's how it works.

Get back here, mate.

This Jimmy here, he's had a funny turn.

He's fainted, I think.

Alan, he's still very groggy. All right, then. Get him into casualty.

Come on, son.

All right.

All right. Come on.

What's this?

Young man, I can't find his little hand.

He was just standing there, bang on the ground, broken bottles all over the

place. All right, son, we'll still have you sorted out. Nurse Dean, can we have

these cuts cleaned up, please?

Good.

Let's have a look.

Yes, his forehand cut looks clean enough. We might get away with just a

there. Are you ditches?

Not today, young man.

Right, let's have a look at this house, shall we?

Oh, Mr Carberry, Jimmy's mum.

Where is he?

I'll take you to see him now, Mrs Carberry.

Ken? Yes, Mistress?

Keep an eye on Mrs Carberry's children, would you, while I take you to see

Doctor.

Yeah,

but the thing is, we're going to Elthamby Race. It's for 12 o 'clock, and

elicited the jobs as long as your arms are before then, aren't we? Well, now,

you've got another one.

Come with me, please.

Step back, please.

There you go.

So, you do this milk round every morning, do you?

Yes, Doctor.

Hmm. Dr. Omrod and Mrs. Carberry.

Jimmy,

Jimmy, you all right, then? Yeah, Mum, I'm OK. There's nothing to worry about,

Mrs. Carberry.

If you'd be so kind as to just take a seat.

Right, now I'm going to take some blood, Jimmy.

So let's just tighten this, all right?

Now you feel just a little scratch.

No, you don't. Come on.

Is everything under control here, Alan? Yes, mate, I'm fine.

I'm very glad to hear it.

Has the new locum arrived yet, Dr Weatherall? Not yet, no. It's only time.

I know it would be a huge coincidence, but there was a Macquarie in my class at

school when I was a little girl.

Oh, Dr Macquarie's from London. Lots of Irish people came to London. It'd be

funny if Dr Macquarie was related to that wee girl in any way. It'd be more

funny, sister. It'd be a miracle.

Dr Weatherall.

Dr Macquarie, welcome to the ward. Hello, nice to be here.

Dr Macquarie, matron, this is Dr Macquarie.

How do you do? Hello.

Would you like to come with me and I'll show you around?

Thank you.

I was telling you this off for analysis, but I'm sure you won't tell me anything

I don't already know.

And what's that, Doctor?

Your son's anemic, Mrs Carberry.

He needs feeding up.

Well, I'm sure I do my best, Doctor.

I'm not in the habit of letting my children starve.

Yes, I'm sure. But he is very underweight for a boy of his age and

Fresh fruit and vegetables is what you need, and plenty of red meat.

You also need proper bed rest, and that means no milk out for a couple of weeks.

All right?

Mrs Carpenter?

Thank you, Doctor.

Come on, Jimmy.

Val,

that's it.

You've seen everything.

It is very impressive, Matron. Yes, we at the Royal are very proud of our

hospital. Ah, finished the bento?

Yes, it's all yours now. Thank you, Matron.

It all seems very impressive.

That's Matron for you.

Right, um... So, we'll be sharing the consult hall until I actually disappear

have the baby.

I haven't sorted out a roster as yet, but I will do that at some point.

Oh, Jeff?

Geoff, this is Joan Macquarie, our new locum. Joan, this is Geoff Goodwin.

Joan, welcome.

Very nice to meet you. You too.

So, first day.

If you need anything, just knock.

Seemed nice.

So,

here we are.

Oh,

right, here's your mum.

Right, you lot, come on.

They're a lively lot.

Don't I know it.

Keep me on my toes.

Come on, you lot, then.

Bye.

Bye. Bye.

Right, come on, let's get out of the way before Matron finds out what else they

do.

Christine?

It's got to be you.

What are you doing?

Do you have any plans for this afternoon?

It's my afternoon off. I know, and I wondered if you might like to go to the

races with me.

I beg your pardon?

The races.

First class entrance, champagne lunch. I'm sorry, it's very kind of you to

offer, but I really can't make it.

Right, shall I go out for my round? You'll be all right, will you? I think

yes. OK, well, if you're not sure about anything, I can always ask Jeff. You

know where he is. Thank you. Good luck.

You're next, Doctor. Thank you.

Mrs Howard.

Oh, that was Dr Weatherill.

And you look, I'm Dr Macquarie.

I didn't know she was going to be coloured.

Sister Bridget thought she was going to be Irish.

Oh, now, that's only because I only heard her name.

I didn't know it was going to be spelt like that.

OK, I'm off.

See you later. Bye.

Thank you.

Please, I need to see the doctor.

Mrs... Woodbridge, Diana Woodbridge.

Woodbridge. I'm with Dr Wetherill. Please hurry, my little girl's very

Dr Macquarie's standing in for Dr Wetherill today. That's fine.

Just take a seat then, Doctor. I'll be with you shortly.

Catherine, wait.

I shouldn't have asked.

If there is someone else.

As a matter of fact, there isn't.

But, um, I'm sure you won't have any problem getting a date.

How do you mean?

Well, the ball.

That glamorous girl you went with.

Trudy?

No, she was my boss's daughter. That was definitely duty.

Oh, I'm sorry if I gave you that impression. I should have explained.

Look, I'd really like you to come with me. Just say you'll at least think about

it. Please.

Okay.

I'll think about it.

Great. So, pick me up at one o 'clock?

If there's no change, don't panic. Leave the call.

Goodbye.

Be next patient. Thank you.

Janie Woodbridge.

Janie Woodbridge?

Over there, Dr Macquarie.

Janie?

Yes, that's right. I'm Dr Macquarie, Mrs Woodbridge. Would you like to follow

me? I'm sorry, you're not my doctor.

It's all right, I'm standing in for Dr Wetherill this morning. No, you don't

understand. I need to see Dr Wetherill.

I told you Dr Macquarie was doing her clinic this morning.

I don't think so.

I would prefer another doctor, thank you.

All right?

Lizzie?

Put Janie on Dr Goodwin's list, please.

Mrs. Waite.

Well,

here we are.

I don't know if we've got a good idea on this one, Eddie.

Catherine, it's happening.

I think it'll be lovely.

Why don't we just relax and enjoy ourselves?

That's Rosie's horse over there.

Royal Kim Weems.

Looks pretty fit to me.

That's as fit as that one there.

Come on, sunrise or last.

Got a lot of money riding on you today.

She's got a temperature and her stomach's quite tender, but I'm sure

the bug.

Nothing solid to eat for 24 hours, but plenty of fluid to my mouth.

It's been three or four days, Doctor. I'm sure it's more than just sickness

diarrhoea. Believe me, there's always something going around, Mrs Woodbridge.

But I'll write you a prescription for some medicine to help settle her

Just try and keep her warm and plenty to drink.

Nothing milky, though.

The best way to treat this is to starve the bug.

That's all?

If there's no improvement after a couple of days, then you get back to us.

Thank you.

I'm sorry to have troubled you.

Oh, it's no trouble, Mrs Woodbridge.

Bye -bye. Bye -bye.

Jane.

Dr Macquarie.

Had a good morning?

Varied. One of the delights of the job, variety.

Not when it's called Mrs Woodbridge.

Didn't I just see Mrs Woodbridge?

After she gave her Dr Macquarie the cold shoulder, Lizzie... What's she talking

about?

Wasn't happy with me seeing her daughter, that's all.

Oh, because you're new?

Because I'm black.

I'm sorry.

That's outrageous.

If there's any consolation, I had it in London, just the same.

Were you in London for long?

I moved there to do my medical degree.

I've lived in England since I was 11.

I grew up in Kenya.

But after the Mau Mau Rebellion broke out, my parents sent me over here to be

educated.

So you'll be used to our strange British ways then.

My father says I'm more English than African.

And your family, they're here too?

No. My mother's family are cattle farmers and my father's in the military.

They've never been to Kenya.

But I'd rather see a bit more of the world.

Dr. Goodwin.

Dr. Goodwin, there's an emergency call.

Traffic accident on Belvedere Street. Young lad trapped under a car.

Okay, we're on our way. Okay.

Well, this is nice.

So, that man that you were with the other night, are you going to see him

Billy?

Well, I suppose I'll keep bumping into him.

He's an old family friend.

A friend?

Uh -huh.

Just... Oh, excuse me.

Thank you.

Oh, no, no more for me. I have to work tonight.

Thanks.

Very sensible.

I take my job very seriously, Mr Carnegie.

I know you do, Nurse Dina.

But we're not at work now, and it's still Adam, remember?

What's up?

Ken and Alan.

Come on, I'm sure neither of us want to start any idle gossip.

Easy, son.

Easy.

Help's here now.

He cycled out in front of her. She didn't have time to stop me.

Hello there.

I'm Dr Goodwin.

Can you hear me?

Looks like he's been in the water already, hasn't he?

OK, can you tell me where it hurts?

Um, shoulder.

OK, can you move your finger for me?

All right, now try and hold on. We'll have you out of here as soon as we can.

Have you got any pain down here?

No. And your legs. Can you move your legs for me?

Okay, that's good.

The injury seems to be localised to his arm. He's got muscle and bone damage.

It's okay.

We need to get him out of here.

All right, then.

So, by the time he retired, he owned two boats.

I met Jack, who was my father.

Jack? He was your husband?

Yeah.

What exactly are you doing in Elsinbury?

Oh, it's a long story.

And very boring.

Come on, let's watch the start of that race.

No, come on.

I'm not letting you get away with that.

It was nothing.

I used to fly.

Please.

Are you?

Yeah. That's quite something.

Yeah.

Okay, Jimmy, don't you worry.

We're going to have you into hospital as soon as we can.

I always wanted to fly Spitfires.

I used to watch them go over when I was a kid.

By the time I got my wings, it was jets.

Vampires. And?

I had an accident.

You mean you crashed?

No, nothing so heroic.

Perforated eardrum. That was it.

Pronounced unfit to fly.

I wanted to be the RAF's best pilot.

My money's on Sunriser.

Shall we catch the end of the race?

That's my winnings up the spout.

Let's see what I can do.

Nicely steady. After three. One, two, three.

Right,

thank you, lad.

Let's get his clothes off so we can take a better look at him.

So what's the problem here?

Fourteen -year -old boy, badly lacerated upper arm and probable fracture of the

humerus.

Jimmy?

You know him?

That's Jimmy Carberry. I saw him this morning.

Well, I would explain the bandages. What was he doing?

Well, he was delivering meat on a bike on a car in a mogul.

What's he doing delivering meat?

OK, Jeff, it's my place. I'll see to it. Sure.

Can you let me through, please?

Excuse me.

I'm a nurse. Can I help? They didn't punch us.

Blimey, Catherine, what are you doing here?

You're on your own.

No, I'm with... Never mind.

Ken, help me to turn him over.

On my count.

Ready?

One, two...

What's his name?

Liam. Liam O 'Brien.

Liam? Hello there, I'm Dr Goodwin. Can you hear me, Liam?

That's a good tap.

OK, what's happened?

He took a very heavy fall at the speed.

I lost all my money.

Into the examination room, please.

OK, let's get him onto the bed, nice and steady as we do it, lads.

Yeah, I'm more worried about the arse.

OK, after three... What are you doing here dressed like that?

I'll tell you later.

How's he doing?

He's okay.

Blood pressure and pulse are fine.

This lad is chronically undernourished.

He's anemic, too.

He was brought in to see me this morning.

Fainted on his milk run.

Milkman?

Butcher's boy?

How many jobs does this lad have?

Too many.

Right. I'll get that dressed.

then I shall reduce the fracture and apply the plaster.

Cut, please.

Is this the unfortunate Mr O 'Brien?

It is.

And Dr Macquarie, I presume.

Joan Macquarie.

A sense of humour, an essential commodity in London, I'm told.

Came off his horse, I understand.

Yeah, he hit a post in the running rail on his way down, knocked himself out and

still concussed.

His pulse is okay, but his blood pressure's only 100 systolic.

There's a few obvious contusions, and he's dislocated his shoulder.

Well, let's get his skull and shoulder in. Where is he?

Where's the bad little son -in -law?

I'm sorry, Mr. Rose, I did try and stop him. I'll give you a chance on my best

horse, and you throw it! Stop right there, sir. What on earth do you think

you're doing?

He threw it!

He had it in the bag, and he threw the bloody race! All right, sir, that's

enough. Get off of me!

Look, we can do it nicely.

Or I can have a little bit more insistence.

That's it, O 'Brien, you're finished.

Understand? Finished!

I'll make sure you never ride again.

You wait till the jockey come up here about your little stunt.

Strawberry.

Look like a gentleman.

Behave like a costamonger.

Let's go, Amin. Only if you promise to behave yourself.

There was a lot riding on that race for me.

Well, you weren't the only one.

You sure he threw it?

He had it sewn up.

All he had to do was stay in the saddle.

Yeah, but no bloke in the right mind's going to want to throw themselves off

horse doing 30 -odd miles an hour.

Depends how much he's been offered.

And how desperate he is for money.

So, Jimmy.

Did you pass out again?

I don't know, Doctor.

I can't remember.

Oh, Jimmy, look.

Are you all right?

It's your arm. You've broken your arm.

Well, he was lucky that's all he broke, Mrs. Carberry.

It could have been very nasty.

What have you been doing?

He was delivering meat.

Now, either you didn't realise that's what he was doing or you simply chose

to mention it this morning.

Sorry, Doctor. I specifically told you he'd need a complete rest for at least

two weeks.

It's not her fault.

It was my decision.

Well, it wasn't a very clever decision, was it, Jimmy?

How many other jobs do you have?

I do a paper round after school.

Well, that's a lot for a lad in full -time education.

Do you think I want him out of school, Doctor?

Do you think I like him working morning, noon and night?

Six children and no husband.

I wouldn't be able to manage without Jimmy's money.

Well, you very nearly had to.

Didn't you, Mrs Carpenter?

How do they look?

The skull seems fine.

No obvious problems?

Had like a bullet in me, Doc.

And the shoulder?

None of the shoulder. The machine's packed up.

What? The radiographer sends her apologies, but it's just not working.

Well, we can't mess about. I should reduce the dislocation under

We'll have a follow -up x -ray when the machine is mended.

I'll get the theatre ready. No need. We'll do it here with an injection.

10 milligrams of Valium and 50 milligrams of Pethidine, please, nurse.

You think about it, huh?

How does an experienced jolly...

Fall off a horse during a flat race.

Must have taken a bribe.

You really think he's a chief?

Well, that's what his training reckons, anyway.

Didn't do you any favours, then.

Just the man I wanted to see. Where's me winning?

Later, love.

Will you please do something?

She's got a raging temperature. She's delirious. We think she's had a fit. Dr

Goodwin said it was just sickness and diarrhoea.

Look at her.

Dr. Macquarie. That seems to be lining up nicely.

Mrs. Woodbridge, I don't want her. I don't want her anywhere near my

Mrs. Woodbridge, Dr. Macquarie will take the best possible care of your

daughter. Now, please let us get on with our work.

Let's get her in.

Right, all done.

Take him on the water.

You didn't put that vase down.

I don't care what people say. I'm not a cheat.

Whether you did or not doesn't concern me, Mr O 'Brien.

I'm merely trying to find out what's wrong with you.

Any dizziness?

Faint spells?

No.

I'm fine, Doctor.

Are you sure you were fit enough to be riding in the first place?

Of course.

I'm a fit man.

Professional.

Yeah, young man.

Here we go.

How's that there? And there.

That's for you.

I'll see how.

Well, Mr O 'Brien, if I'm not mistaken.

He's still a bit sleepy, sister.

The famous jockey we have here, nurse.

Pity you can't stay on a horse.

One, two, three.

There we go. Oh, if you could keep a good eye on him, sister. In particular,

make sure he's eating properly.

He's underweight and anemic.

Another one, eh?

Don't you worry. We'll take good care of him. And the young fellow over there.

I'd best get going. Leave you to it, then.

I'm sorry, Mum.

I'll let you down. Oh, don't worry. We'll survive.

Come on, you lot.

Are you hurting her? It's got to be done, Mrs Woodbridge. We need to find

exactly what this infection is.

Is everything OK?

She was fitting.

All done. Good girl.

Who said she was going to be all right?

We're doctors, not magicians, Mrs Woodbridge. We can't predict the future.

Dr Goodwin's diagnosis was perfectly correct, given your daughter's symptoms

this morning. I don't care about right or wrong or who's to blame.

I just want my daughter better.

And we're trying to make her better, Mr Woodbridge.

Let's get these off to the lab.

Janey! It's OK, love.

I wish you was home this morning.

And now high temperature, fitting delirium.

What do you think it is?

Gastrointestinal infection.

It could be close contact with someone else who's infected or something she

I can't believe she's so much worse than this morning.

Well, I should stay in overnight and keep an eye on her.

I'll stay with you if you like.

This is all new to me.

Oh, no, I couldn't ask you to do that.

No.

I'd like to.

Okay.

Thank you.

So, you'll be looking for a proper job soon, then?

Yeah, I finished school this year.

Anything in mind?

Not really. I've been for a few interviews.

Any luck?

No, they always say they're looking for somebody a bit bigger.

I need to find something soon, though. My mam needs the money.

Clean plate.

That's what I want to see, Mr O 'Brien.

I'm doing me best.

I still feel a bit woozy.

Well, that's to be expected.

Good lad, Jimmy.

You'll soon have this anemia under control if you both keep eating like

There's you, you're asleep.

Do you ever wonder why you wanted to become a doctor?

No.

Not really.

I feel some time.

There's nothing you can really do.

We brought you a coffee.

She's worse, isn't she?

She is very poorly, yes.

We'll have the blood test results within a few hours.

That's going to tell us a lot more.

You said that she's been feeling unwell for about five days?

Yeah. And she ate what?

I've already told you.

Tell us again.

You may have missed something.

Eggs for breakfast, jam sandwiches at dinner, fish fingers for tea and ice

for afters.

And that was all? Nothing else?

That's it.

Try to realize.

Hemolytic. The Remix Syndrome.

What? No, listen.

Gastroenteritis. Dehydration, fitting, delirium.

I've never seen a case of hemolytic uremic syndrome.

It's a reaction to a toxin produced by the E. coli 0157 bacteria.

Yes.

The ice cream, where did you get it from?

It's homemade.

A favourite. We made a batch of it.

You make ice cream?

Now and then. We have a dairy herd.

What's the matter?

It's all good stuff. Fresh.

Mrs. Woodbridge, I think your ice cream may be the source of Janie's infection.

Excuse her.

Well,

it's possible.

But you can't catch E. coli without it developing into haemolytic uremic

syndrome. Yes, I know. But if I'm right and she has H .U .F., then we may be too

late already.

Morning, Christine.

Where did they get to yesterday?

Just through the page?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry. I just, uh... I didn't think it'd be a good idea for Ken

and Alan to see us together. Not yet, anyway.

It'd be easier for us to get to know each other without being the subject of

hospital gossip.

Ah, no staff in port.

Lab results confirm it was the ice cream.

I see.

Why haven't we got there?

Most people's immune system deal with the bacteria.

For it to develop into hemolytic uremic syndrome is very rare.

How bad is it?

She has high blood urea, which tells us at the time we took her blood, her

kidneys weren't working properly.

Oh, my God.

I'm afraid it is a matter of watching and waiting for the antibiotics to take

effect. And what if they don't?

Please, try not to worry.

She is getting the best possible care.

Ah, now that's what I like to see.

A man enjoying a good breakfast.

You must be on the mend.

I feel much better this morning, Doctor.

I'll be out of here by lunchtime, you'll see.

And where exactly do you think you're going, Mr O 'Brien?

To the toilet.

Please, Matron, don't make me use one of them bedpans.

That's OK.

Very well.

So, no problems?

Slept right through.

He's eating well enough.

Hello? Everything all right in there?

Hello?

Are you okay in there?

Hello?

I'm fine.

Just a bit nauseous, that's all.

I'm not surprised the knot you took yesterday.

Come on.

I'll help you back to the ward.

30 bob plus your 10 bob steak, that's two quid.

That's each way.

To win.

Here, here, here.

Thank you. Paying your debts. Only ones I can afford.

Where have you been?

With the mechanic from Central, trying to fix the x -ray machine.

Have you looked?

Yep, take it away.

Taking me away?

Well, I did tell you. Yes, but I don't need any lectures.

We're not going to find 18 pounds by tonight.

It is a lot of money.

Yes, Alan, I know it's a lot of money.

What you really need is a mate with lots of spare dosh.

Would you get that?

I back the winner.

Royal convenience?

I'm the second in the forecast.

Paid out 22 quid. You little beauty. No way you're having this.

Why? You're supposed to be my mate.

I could be.

What's that supposed to mean?

Toilets need cleaning.

But I don't clean toilets.

Suit yourself.

Enjoy that.

It was great.

Where's Mr O 'Brien?

He went to the toilet.

When? Just after he finished his dinner.

Ah, Mr Carnegie.

What's the story on the x -ray machine?

It's been dealt with. It's gone off to be repaired.

And what are we supposed to do in the meantime?

Use the one at Ashfordly General.

You do realise how important that machine is to this hospital?

Without X -ray facilities, we don't have a casualty department.

Of course I'm aware of the difficulties, Dr. Elmerod. It's just a temporary

measure.

Is it?

Ah, Ken, just the matter.

Any chance of me having my winnings?

Give me that mop.

Later, Dr. Elmerod.

Right, here we go, then.

There's someone in there!

Fine, Doc.

OK?

How can you be fine, Mr O 'Brien?

You were found unconscious and face down in your own vomit.

So is this hospital food you give me, Doc.

It's not a grain with me.

There's absolutely no reason why the food you've had here should be making

sick, Mr O 'Brien.

I hope it's the bang in the head, then.

Well, your x -rays show no abnormalities.

You were sick straight after your breakfast this morning.

It's now after your lunch.

This wouldn't have anything to do with that trainer of yours, would it?

He didn't throw that race.

Oh, I believe you.

You do?

Absolutely.

You're no more a cheat than I am.

Thanks, Dad.

I wish you'd tell my trainer that.

I will, don't worry.

And while I'm at it, I'll tell him just how ill you are.

I told you, there's nothing wrong with me.

How long have you been making yourself sick?

What are you talking about?

That horse didn't throw you, Mr O 'Brien. You fell off.

Would my experience do me a favour?

No, do yourself a favour and admit it.

You backed out and you fell off.

You've been making yourself sick deliberately, haven't you?

OK, yes.

OK.

What about diuretics?

Diuretics, laxatives, sweat sessions.

Anything to make the weight.

Do you realise how ill this is making you?

I'm a jockey.

That's all I know.

I realise it's crazy, but it's the only way to get the weight off.

My age, I just can't hack it anymore.

I can't force you to eat, Mr O 'Brien, or stop you sticking your fingers down

your throat.

But I'd have thought it was better to let people know you were ill rather than

let them think you're a cheat.

She's going to be all right, isn't she, Doctor?

She is very poorly, Mrs Woodbridge.

We need to give the antibiotics a chance to work.

Thank you.

Jim.

Mr Chambers.

I believe I owe you an apology.

You see?

I thought you'd like to know the incident will go no further.

Well, that's nice to know.

You should have said, Liam.

You should have told me what was going on. What?

And never get another ride again.

Yes, you're right.

But no one will book you now anyway.

Including you.

I'm sorry.

You were a good jockey.

If there's anything I can do.

We're going home.

I picked these up from the market for you. They're going to get you better

Thanks, Mum.

Excuse me, madam.

You'll soon be out of here, I understand.

He wants to build me up.

Well,

when you're fit again, get in touch.

I might just be able to help.

Help? With your build, you'd make a perfect stable lad.

Or maybe even a jockey, wouldn't they?

Take care now.

Open

your

mind.

I think we're through the worst.

Doctor.

Thank you.

Are

okay? She came round.

make a full recovery.

Oh, well done.

Well, it was luck more than anything.

Thank you so much for all your help. I really appreciate it.

Any time.

You're settling in, OK? I think so.

Janie Woodbridge is on the mend. Oh, that's good news.

Congratulations. That was a very tricky case. Well done, really well.

Thanks. It was a real baptism of fire.

Is everything like this?

Oh, thankfully no.

And as soon as the X -ray machine's fixed, we...

You should get back to normal. Well, I wouldn't hold your breath, not if

Carnegie has got anything to do with it. Go on, then.

Good night.

Good night, Dad. Good night. Good night.

Well, I think you deserve a drink.

It's, um, at least I do.

You're on.

I think Jeff might have stayed over to the shine,

Tony. Thank you.
